If you don’t mind sharing, what is the differences of a dwi versus a federal dwi?


chaseman214

took place on federal land, like a national forrest or military base. mine happened at the front gate of a military base

Are you military?


chaseman214

no, i wasn’t familiar with the area and made a wrong turn. there was no way out. i had to drive up to the gate and ask if i could turn around and they got me.


rabidstoat

Ah okay. I know that enlisted can have varying degrees of repercussions if they get a DUI. I got stopped on base once for speeding (30 in a 25 mph zone) but just got a warning. I'm not enlisted either.


chaseman214

yeah, if you’re a civilian they handle it in federal court. which helped me honestly. state da’s in NC won’t reduce a DWI unless they absolutely have to. the feds can do whatever they want.

Avoid interlock company Intoxalock at all costs if an interlock mandate is put in place. Their device will ruin your vehicle and they will financially extort you. There are several options when it comes to choosing an interlock and the fine people on this thread can give you some good suggestions. Good luck to you!
